I love the evening star. Does ...

I love the evening star. Does that sound foolish? I used to go into the backyard, after sunset, and wait for it until it shone above the dark gum tree. I used to whisper 'There you are, my darling.' And just in that first moment it seemed to be shining for me alone. It seemed to understand this ... something which is like longing, and yet it is not longing. Or regret - it is more like regret.

In the woods where snow is thi...

In the woods where snow is thick, bars of sunlight lay like pale fire.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

I think I hate snow, downright...

I think I hate snow, downright hate it. There is something stupefying in it, a kind of 'You must be worse before you're better,' and down it spins.

Winter is a terrible time for ...

Winter is a terrible time for thin people - terrible! Why should it hound them down, fasten on them, worry them so? Why not, for a change, take a nip, take a snap at the fat ones who wouldn't notice? But no! It is sleek, warm, cat-like summer that makes the fat one's life a misery. Winter is all for bones ...

There is no feeling to be compared with the feeling of having written and finished a story.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Perhaps it does not matter so ...

Perhaps it does not matter so very much what it is one loves in this world. But love something one must.

I have such a horror of telegrams that ask me how I am!! I always want to reply dead.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

We can do whatever we wish to ...

We can do whatever we wish to do provided our wish is strong enough. But the tremendous effort needed- one doesn't always want to make it-does one? ... But what else can be done? What's the alternative? What do you want most to do? That's what I have to keep asking myself, in the face of difficulties.

I feel I must live alone, alone, alone - with artists only to touch the door. Every artist cuts off his ear and nails it on the outside of the door for the others to shout into.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

In the shortest sea voyage the...

In the shortest sea voyage there is no sense of time. You have been down in the cabin for hours or days or years. Nobody knows or cares. You know all the people to the point of indifference. You do not believe in dry land any more - you are caught in the pendulum itself, and left there, idly swinging.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

In fact, isn't it a joy - there is hardly a greater one - to find a new book, a living book, and to know that it will remain with you while life lasts?

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Do you remember your childhood...

Do you remember your childhood? I am always coming across these marvelous accounts by writers who declare that they remember 'everything.' I certainly don't. The dark stretches, the blanks, are much bigger than the bright glimpses. I seem to have spent most of my time like a plant in a cupboard.

Children are unaccountable little creatures.

conversation is like a dear little baby that is brought in to be handed round. You must rock it, nurse it, keep it on the move if you want it to keep smiling.

Courage is like a disobedient dog, once it starts running away it flies all the faster for your attempts to recall it.

Yes, my mother's death is a terrible sorrow to me. I feel - do you know what I mean - the silence of it so. She was more alive than anyone I have ever known.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

That is the fearful part of having been near death. One knows how easy it is to die. The barriers that are up for everybody else are down for you, and you've only to slip through.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Can one do nothing for the dead? And for a long time the answer had been - Nothing!

Looking back, I imagine I was always writing. Twaddle it was too. But better far write twaddle or anything, anything, than nothing at all.
